Plasma volume recombination in the divertor, a process in which charged particles recombine to neutral atoms, contributes to plasma detachment and hence cooling at the divertor target region. Detachment has been observed at JET and other tokamaks and is known to occur at low electron temperatures (T(sub e))1 eV) and at high electron density (n(sub e)10(exp 20)/m(exp 3)). The ability to measure such low temperatures is therefore of interest for modelling the divertor...
